Implementation Assurance

IT Solution + Organization Development +
Change Management = Implementation Assurance

Realize the Full Potential of Your IT Solution

Preparing organizations and end- users for the implementation of an Information Technology solution is a critical factor for success. At Orizon, we have developed an implementation assurance practice for addressing implementation from the perspective of the organization and the individual. We have found that many training sessions typically start by asking the questions "why are we here and what is this system supposed to do for us?" By addressing organization development (OD) issues throughout the system life cycle, Orizon creates an environment where the implementation of new technology occurs in an atmosphere where the user community from the beginning understands the system and its potential benefits.

“Why are we
here and what
is the system
supposed to
do for us?”

Changing Federal IT Needs

Three things are now shaping the Information Technology needs of Federal government organizations:

A decrease in the size of the workforce
Aging, inefficient, stove-piped legacy systems and the trend toward the use of Commercial Off the Shelf (COTS) products and cloud Enterprise Resource Planning systems
Digital Government initiatives to provide faster, more efficient service to citizens

The Impact on Federal Agencies

The impact of these trends is that Federal government organizations and the way they do business are changing. To facilitate this transition, support in the areas of organizational development and change management is essential. This support may be required when:

Organizations are being restructured.
Business processes are being developed/modified.
New technology is being introduced.

At Orizon, we have bundled these services into our Implementation Assurance (IA) practice.
